WithMuscle Marchall oiled up and ready for WiiWare download, along with Capcom’s 8-bit throwbackDark Void Zerofor DSiWare, the answer is… yes. Yes it is. DSiWare Virtual Console Personally, definitely put me down forMuscle MarchandDark Void Zero. I also have a soft spot in my heart forShadow Dancer; I seem to remember shoveling a lot of snow in middle school just so I could pay lots of money for the Mega Drive import....

No Apparent Reason Parties, NARPs for short, are a long standing tradition here at Destructoid. NARPs are parties hosted by Dtoiders for Dtoiders and everyone is welcome to attend a party. It’s about playing games and interacting with other people all in the name of having a good time. It’s the last month of the year so let’s go out with a bang! Christmas and New Years are both great reasons to party up a storm and what better way to ring in the new year then with other Dtoiders?...

WhileJapan doesn’t seem to be diggingNo More Heroesthat much, creator Suda 51 doesn’t appear to be too concerned. He may be looking to North America as a target audience, and he even expresses interest in developing a title for the Xbox 360. TVGpoints to an interview with Degenki Online (Japanese) where Suda says that developing for the mainstream system in North Americawould be challenging and desirable – like playing Major League Baseball....

They’re quick to point out that the minds behindNovadromeare the same ones that brought us the gameCarmageddon.

Poking around Free Radical’sofficial Web site, some art might catch your eye: an underground tunnel; a monkey wearing a bellhop’s hat; a nun with a chainsaw. Is this the first glimpse we’re getting atTimeSplitters 4art work? Already confirmed in development, a monkey and a nun with a chainsaw sure does seem like fodder for a newTimeSplitterstitle. We’re talking about a series that has included robots, zombies, monkeys, and more as playable characters....

I love me some string cheese. I’m not sure why it peels like that, but I totally dig it as a midday blogger snack. And I dig Beyond Good & Evil. Though it’s not the newest game around, and I think it was largely overlooked, it’s still a great game. So it makes perfect sense that this game would be a promotional pack in with string cheese, right? No, you say?...

Olivia Munn is good for Men’s Health, especially when she’s frolicking around in a bikini. The better (looking) half ofG4’s Attack of the Show’shost team (sorry, no offense Kevin P.) did a photo shoot forMen’s Healthmagazine, and we’ll come out and say that just about any healthy man will enjoy these pictures.Olivia Munnposed on a beach in black and white swim wear (take your pick!), looking absolutely lovely, and nothing like a host for a nerdy game and internet culture show....

James Cameron’s Avataris a movie a lot of people are excited for. I mean, for a movie that about a paralyzed man becoming the love child between Larry Bird and the opera singer fromThe Fifth Element, there’s been plenty to talk about. Why else would Mr. Cameron himself spend so much time talking about the film at this year’s E3? Probably because it’s awesome, and there are pretty pictures, and blue people, and stereoscopic 3D, and dinosaur things, and shooting, and James Cameron, and Titanic, and because he says it’s awesome....

Weknow a good gamewhen we see one. But we can’t help but think that many have missed out on or passed on a Wii game with a title likede Blob. So we originally guessed that this game would join the ranks of many other great titles that sell poorly and never get the praise and purchases that they deserve. It seems thatde Blobdid pretty well, though. THQ says that their paint-slinging game sold over 700,000 copies at retail....
